  AP signs Rs 1 lakh cr MoUs at Partnership Summit
Friday, January 13, 2012
It was a day of MoUs in Hyderabad on January 12, involving almost Rs 1,00,000 crore worth proposed investments in Andhra Pradesh over the next five years. The inaugural day of the three-day CII Partnership Summit 2012 saw a flurry of MoUs being signed across sectors such as power, refinery, gas, mining and education. With more agreements being lined up for January 12, Friday, the State Government expects the summit to end with investment proposals worth over a staggering Rs 5,00,000 crore involving top private and public sector companies.

One of the biggest proposals came from GMR Group, which expressed interest in investing Rs 33,000 crore for setting up a 15 million tonne refinery-cum-petrochemicals complex and a multi-product SEZ in the Vizag-Kakinada region. This comes in the wake of ONGC withdrawing from the Kakinada greenfield refinery-cum-petrochemicals project, with the GMR Group proposing to pick up the divested stake.

BR Shetty Group has expressed interest to invest another Rs 30,000 crore to put up a refinery project at the PCPIR region in Visakhapatnam. The Yash Birla group concluded a MoU involving an investment of Rs 13,000 crore to set up a sports city (Rs 2,000 crore) and an Ayurveda complex (Rs 750 crore), Rs 10,000 crore poly silicon plant, within the next 18 months.
